Curriculum Fit

The Alberta RiverWatch Science Program was designed by Alberta teachers for use in secondary classrooms around the province. RiverWatch is based on the very real need to take students outdoors for the best and most relevant ecology studies.

Secondary Science Courses

RiverWatch assists with river ecology studies undertaken by 4000 students each year across central and southern Alberta. The environmental data collected by these students is used in several Alberta secondary science courses:

The Egg Did Come Before The Chicken!

Teachers don't have to "make a reach" to justify involvement with the RiverWatch Science Program. The Alberta Science curriculum and associated textbook resources were the starting inspiration for RiverWatch. The curriculum came first and was subsequently followed by the design of the field trip to meet specific learner objectives.
